"Arnold Layne" was the first single released by British Psychedelic rock group The Pink Floyd, shortly after landing a recording contract with EMI. The song was written by Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd's co-founder and original front man. Although not included on the band's debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (though it is included on the bonus disc of the CD version), "Arnold Layne" has come to be popular within fan circles, and is featured on numerous compilation albums of the band.
